Brittney was raped in high school, but she didn't realize that her experience was rape until late into college. Why? Her sexual education had not taught her about rape, consent, and coercion. Now, Brittney is the founder of the We Will organization, a national nonprofit working to prevent sexual assault through education. In this episode, she discusses her story, her new children's book designed to teach children about consent, and why sexual education, when done correctly, can significantly lower instances of sexual assault.
